Blackbird

The developer's been working on it while still trying to have a life. :-)
New version coming soon. From his Facebook page:

"We've been with you for a year now. Feels good.
Win10 Anniversary/Redstone support is almost here for reals.
Had to add about 4500 extra lines of code compared to the previous version
so give me a break."

And "Blackbird" is WHAT? and WHERE? Did you not specify because this is
an announcement only for insiders?

It's been discussed here a few times, so Thip probably assumed that
people who care about it already know about it.

I can't tell you. You don't know the secret word and you're not wearing
your decoder ring.

He multi-posted also to the alt.free.software newsgroup. Although meant
to also prod here to provide a description or, at least, a URL to the
product, he never did. Instead others had to perform that duty on his
behalf to include the detail(s). I wasn't going to waste time doing an
online search on "blackbird" and wade through the results trying to find
something that was software and might be related because Thip was vague.

Thanks for the belated URL. Others in the freeware newsgroup also had
to provide the detail(s) that Thip consistently refused to divulge. My
prodding backfired: didn't get Thip to provide details and instead had
others provide the details.

It is remotely possible SHE didn't have the chance to respond to your posts
in what you consider a timely manner. And if you'd simply asked for the URL
I would have been happy to provide it. The surest way to **** me off is to
jump down my throat.

My first reply (to you in both newsgroups, also multi-posted):

Yeah, sure, that was jumping down your throat. I did ask what it was
and I asked where it was (first sentence). Then I tried prodding for
more details (second sentence), similar to asking "Is it a secret?"
Instead you chose to be disingenuous, including to anyone else that may
later read your post and also wonder what it was and where it was.
Must've been a bad day for you at the time you read my first post.

Not at all disingenuous, Van. WHAT and WHERE are shouting. And frankly,
because I was having some computer problems, I didn't see your post, nor did
I respond to it in *your* given time frame.
Rudeness isn't really my style. If you've been hanging around a.c.f any
length of time, you'd know that. God forgive me, but I think I've been
around as long as Corliss has. And even BB liked me once he found out I
rescue dogs, argh!
